[PATCH] export the queue_work wrappers GPL-only

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch (as777) fixes an oversight in a couple of earlier patches.  Now 
the wrapper routines:

	queue_work(), queue_delayed_work(), queue_delayed_work_on(),
	schedule_work(), schedule_delayed_work(), and
	schedule_delayed_work_on()

are exported GPL-only, just as the originals used to be.

You're right...  I don't know how I managed to miss that.

It's a question of whether anyone feels the need to remove the legacy
routines.

Andrew, if you think that after (say) a year's time those WARN_ON()s no
longer serve any useful purpose, I could do a big search-and-replace to
get rid of those old functions entirely.  I assume there's no problem with
accepting patches that change hundreds of files.
